Can you tell me about the Used Book Sale?

We are excited to partner with homeschoolers in Casper to make their very successful used curriculum sale available to conference attendees! The sale will be the day before the conference, April 30, at Boyd Avenue's MPAC building (2225 CY Ave, Casper)

Setup will be from 8-9:30 am. Sale will begin at 10 am. If you cannot be there for setup but have items to sell, feel free to come by later in the day! Many people make 2+ passes through the sale as the inventory changes through the day.

Instructions on sorting, labeling and pricing your curriculum and books so you can add them to the sale.

1. Books are arranged by table by “grade level.” Individuals dropping off books to sell normally place them on the tables, as tables fill up or as items are purchased we normally condense or expand sections depending on space needed. Please have them sorted ahead for proper table placement to save everyone the headache of needing to sort your items.

2. We always have a free section so bring anything you might be willing to donate or pay it forward to another mom or family.

3. Pricing is completely up to you. Price them to sell BUT also remember your phone number is required on your items so shoppers can reach out to you and negotiate deals as you and they see fit. Pricing is what you feel is fair.

4. ***Labeling: (probably the most important so you can get paid for your items) To label items properly you will need to include, your name, phone # and price. You can use index cards and painters tape to tape the card to the front or even a card just stuck inside the book (not ideal, falls out easily) with the info above. Please place rubber bands around sets of books that the items are to be sold together. Marking the set as a set with something like this is a 3 book set on the index card will also be helpful.*** We have forms available for print at Used Curriculum Sale Form.pdf

5. Receiving payment: if buyers purchase with cash, the label from your item will be removed and placed with the cash in an envelope labeled with your name. You are responsible for picking up your money and any unsold item by the stated time. Leftover items not picked up will be donated.

What do my kids need to bring to the children's program?

Please pack 2-3 snacks per day labeled with your child’s name

Please remember a water bottle.

Additionally, please send one item for your child(ren) to trade on Friday. This item will NOT come home with them. Be creative in what they bring--it can be anything! A book, a cool rock, the Trails Center told me that one year their top-trading item was a potato!

What is Family Night?

Family night is a fun, interactive evening for families to intentionally connect with each other. Hosted by Wyoming Strong Families, you will participate in fun activities that demonstrate the importance of working together, as well as be equipped with new tools to foster unity at home. Dinner is included!
